DONATING TO THE THRIFT STORE PSA!!!!! that i can’t believe i even have to say

if you would not buy it in the state it’s in, don’t fucking donate it!!

maybe if there’s a button missing or little holes or stains, but stop using thrift stores as your garbage. the amount of actual trash we get donated at my job is ridiculous. one man’s trash is another man’s treasure like 20% of the time. but chances are if you didn’t want to fix it yourself, neither will anyone else.

quality too. if you would not buy shein from the thrift store yourself, don’t donate your “cute summer shein hauls :33” that you don’t wear anymore because the trend ended. nobody buys shein second-hand, and it sits on our shelves until we have to throw it out.

“but i don’t have money to not shop at shein 🥺” idc. cope. thrift. maybe if the thrift stores weren’t full of plastic cancer clothes from last months aesthetic you’d be able to find more good quality items. but alas

ITS STILL YOUR CONSUMPTION WASTE, even if you give it to us. clothes don’t just disappear once you donate.

TREAT YOUR THRIFT STORES WITH RESPECT

im still losing it over the "how did high schoolers write 600 word essays before chatgpt" post. 600 words. that is nothing. that is so few words what do you mean you can't write 600 words. 600 words. this post right here is 45 words.

me in the not-so-distant future of 2032 taking my beautiful wife out for a walk on a foggy day: damn it's like silent hill up in this bitch! 😂

my wife: fuck you you say that every time it's a little foggy outside. you haven't even played the games. i hate you so much

obsessed with this costume

not to he a hater but it’s crazy when male artists get praised up and down for groundbreaking gender defying fashion and it’s just. a skirt. “he painted his finger nails!!!” “he wore eyeliner!!” acting like it’s never been done before when the roads been paved for 60 years

anyways I miss when every other band / musician dressed like a slutty lil freak

can you guys stop making posts that i materially agree with but that are worded in ways i find too disagreeable to be reblogged. it rankles

Yeah okay, I'll reblog that!

Ill be honest with you as a queer jew I find it incredibly uncomfortable the whole pink triangle and "gay people were affected too!!!" Like. I think there's a lot of aspects that should be talked about more in history like everything that happened w/ Magnus Hirschfeld, but honestly it feels like. A good chunk of the time when queers talk about the holocaust they act like the main focus of the holocaust was the queer people being killed and Jews are just a side dish you get to pick if to include or not as they wish. It's part of why I feel very uncomfortable when goy queer people use the upside down triangle. There's a LOT of things you can use that symbolise queerness like a LOT so why pick the one symbol that at its core isn't about you.

If I may add to that?

It also feels disrespectful and reductive towards the actual targeted people to universalize it.

Us Jews, we have a pretty connected international community. We are one people across many nations. When we talk about the Holocaust, we are typically talking about either our own family or the family of our personal friends. It's not an abstract or a though exercise, it's cultural memory.

Queer people don't have an international community the same way. They are not an interconnected people spread apart many nations. When talking about the holocaust, typically they are not talking about their own family or the family of their personal friends. It's an abstract and a thought exercise.

And that's not fair to the German queer community. They are the ones who live in the same cities and towns where a few short generations before, gay people just the same as those that were rounded up.

They live and love in those same towns that gay prisoners came from, that same town where gay prisoners were not released at the end of the Holocaust but instead were considered "prisoners." Often the same towns that still had Paragraph 175 on the books.

Queer Germans have to grapple with the knowledge that just a few generations ago, their neighbors brutally and lethally turned on the local queer community, and they would continue to risk imprisonment for decades afterwards. It feels disrespectful to the courage that German queers had, in the face of the real and demonstrated courage, to turn things around.

the most annoying people are people who don't understand storytelling. they be like "oooo how convenient that this thing happened to the main character in the very beginning". yeah no shit. that's why the story begins here
